Todays run was the longest run I have ever completed based on time. It was even longer than both of the marathons that I ran, although the distance was shorter. We started off with a whole crew of people, as Daniel, James, Sasha, Mary Ann, and Angela Wagner (BYU runner) all showed up to run. After a warm-up of about 2.75 we started a 5k tempo pacing the women. Daniel and James headed for home. We ran the tempo with them, hitting the first 2.5 miles at about 6:00 pace on the snow and ice, and then running back and finishing with Mary Ann at a slightly slower pace. After this we ran back to Sasha's house and dropped off Mary Ann and Angela. On the way back I slipped in one of the tunnels and landed on my hip pretty hard. It is still a little sore. After returning to Sasha's house, we ran back out and did about 11.5 miles more to finish 20+ miles in 2:43:24.
